Answer 1

Try this:

i.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/MyFile.csv"));

And make sure you have required permissions to access external storage.

use this code..

Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_SEND);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);   
intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file:/"+arr));
intent.setType("image/jpg"); 
startActivity(intent);
